EITHER
(a) An examination paper contains 12 different questions of which 3 are on trigonometry, 4 are on
algebra and 5 are on calculus. Candidates are asked to answer 8 questions. Calculate
(i) the number of different ways in which a candidate can select 8 questions if there is no
restriction,
(ii) the number of these selections which contain questions on only 2 of the 3 topics,
trigonometry, algebra and calculus.

(b) A fashion magazine runs a competition, in which 8 photographs of dresses are shown, lettered
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Competitors are asked to submit an arrangement of 5 letters
showing their choice of dresses in descending order of merit. The winner is picked at random
from those competitors whose arrangement of letters agrees with that chosen by a panel of
experts.
(i) Calculate the number of possible arrangements of 5 letters chosen from the 8.
